"Have you seen nothing?" inquired Bernadette, her eyes all aglow with excitement.
"No: what is it?" said Marie.
"It is something strange," said Bernadette.
"It could not have been stranger than you look now, with your staring eyes and your flying hair," said Jeanne.
"What have you seen, Bernadette?" asked Marie.
"Some one in white, bright and gleaming," said Bernadette.
"What did it do? Describe it," exclaimed Jeanne.
"I cannot describe it. If you haven't seen it, I can't tell you what it was like," she said.
The two other girls were frightened. "Will it hurt us?" asked Marie.
